author's inscription to pre-titles page reads: "Happy Sailing Jule! Libby Purves". Libby Purves, well-known author and broadcaster puts her finger right on the nub of what makes cruising so enjoyable, so amusing and so exasperating in her popular column in Yachtinq Monthly. Here, by popular request, she has gathered together the best of those pieces in a highly entertaining collection. With great gusto and with her tongue firmly in her cheek Libby addresses such vital cruising issues as the chronic pessimism of pilot books, the power of prayer to mend cracked fuel pipes, and the inadvisability of furry leopard skin upholstery. Illustrated with Mike Peyton's witty and well-loved cartoons, this book is a must for all yachtsmen - budding, intrepid or armchair. 90 pages.
